Once you had to choose: Either grow American persimmons that are hardy, but not great for fresh eating - or grow the sweet and tasty Asian persimmons that thrived in warmer climates. Well, now you can enjoy the best of both by sourcing a hybrid persimmon. So in this episode, Susan Poizner of the fruit tree care education website OrchardPeople.com chats with Darren Bender-Beauregard of Brambleberrypermaculture.com about growing hybrid persimmons in this episode.
